If everything goes well, in the first quarter, there is no date yet, we will see the launch of the Miura 5 of the Spanish company PLD Space from the Guiana Space Center, in French Guiana, in South America, it would be the first space rocket from a private European company.


The rocket is also partially reusable, not like the SLS where you have to throw everything away, where everything is destroyed, here you can reuse things, which makes it more economical. It will be capable of putting into orbit around one ton, between 1000 and 1080 kg. in low Earth orbit, it would be the first European company that manages to launch a rocket into space and there are several, there is also a race, there was Spectrum, in Russia there were also two others, but they are stopped due to the war they are having, there was the Rocket Factory Augsburg of Germany and some others.

I know there were some more, but PLD Space, the Spanish company, could be the first, let's see what happens, in the first quarter, there is no date, and other extraordinary things, the international space station is going to deorbit, it is going to be destroyed in 2030. There is a group of rebels, of rebel scientists, who want the ship that SpaceX is building to push the international space station and push it towards Point Nemo, which is in the South Pacific, the most desolate area and depopulated of the planet, that same ship be used to push it not down, but up, towards a higher orbit and that the space station remains there as a kind of museum of the conquest of space because it could not be used.


The international space station has quite a few flaws, there are more and more holes and it is not enough for much more, but there is also a race to develop companies that build space stations or space station modules, keep in mind that apart from China, Russia wants to have its own, its space station, India also wants to have a space station, there will be an international space station, and there will also be private space stations, either as laboratories to create chemicals, medicines, etc., or as space hotels.

And in mid-2026, it is believed that around June, a module of what would be the first private commercial space station, Haven-1, from the company Vast, will be launched. A single module will be built large enough to house four astronauts for short missions; And with the withdrawal of the international space station, the Vast company wants its project to be an international station where private and government companies are installed for medical research, manufacturing of advanced materials and scientific experiments.

And India is also going to launch this year 2026 called Chandrayaan, It is going to launch what is a low Earth orbit ship, the Chandrayaan is going to be a module, it is going to be a ship similar to the manned dragon, it is not a ship to go to the moon, but it is a ship that is used to take astronauts and equipment to that Indian space station that they want to build.


That ship is going to be launched with an android and we will see if it goes well, if it goes well, India will be ahead of the European Space Agency, because the European Space Agency does not have a ship to send astronauts to space, or to the international space station, or anywhere, it has to pay the ticket now to SpaceX or Russia to be able to send astronauts to space, so that its astronauts are really astronauts, they have approved to develop one, but for the moment India is going to win the game.
